What to Get Your Wife for Mother's Day

It's never too early to think about Mother’s Day.  Whether you want to honor your own mother - or the mother of your children, one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give is for Mother's Day.  Let's focus on how to find a meaningful gift for your wife to make sure that she has the best Mother’s Day ever. If you’re struggling with what to get your wife for Mother’s Day, you’re not alone! It can be hard to decide what to get her on this special day, especially if you want to avoid falling into the old clichés like breakfast in bed. The following are some great ideas of what you can get your wife for mother’s day that will have her feeling truly loved and appreciated.

Make Dinner Special

Whether your wife is the one usually responsible for putting dinner together or that falls under your specialty, one thing is certain when it comes to picking out a gift for your wife on Mother’s Day: make dinner special! This means that she shouldn’t have to cook - whether that means you take her out for dinner or you cook up something special at home. In either case, make sure that what's for dinner is something your wife loves. Good ideas include restaurants or cuisines she’s always wanted to try or a restaurant she’s been itching to get to but hasn’t had the time lately.

Involve the Kids (And Allow for Breaks)

Make sure you do little things to get your kids involved on this day, such as signing their cards if they’re too young to write, and involving them in making a little handmade gift or two. But don’t forget to allow for some break time! Yes, Mother’s Day is about celebrating motherhood, but that doesn’t mean your wife will necessarily want the kids around 24/7! So if you know that your wife would enjoy a kid-free break for a while, gift her some free time on Mother’s Day by taking the kids somewhere else or watching them at home while your wife goes and enjoys some time without the kids.

Indulge in Her Hobbies

Does your wife have a favorite hobby or pastime? Such as photography, drawing, baking - whatever it is she loves to do as a passion project. Look for gifts that indulge in these hobbies, especially if it’s an item or items that she’s wanted to splurge on but hasn’t been able to justify it yet. For instance, if your wife loves photography, give her a camera lens she’s wanted to try or if she loves to draw, purchase a brand new professional art set or easel.

A Photobook Album

Did you know that moms are less likely to be in family photos since they’re usually the ones documenting everything? This Mother’s Day, let your wife off the “photo hook” by having a special photo album printed. Fill it with photos of her and the kids - if you have time, sneak some new photos of her before you do the final printing so the book will be extra-full - and you’ve got an instant personalized gift that she is sure to treasure!

This Mother’s Day, don’t forget to give your wife something special that truly shows her you care.
